Samsung NC10 Review

Advantages: Good battery life, nice screen, near enough a full size keyboard
Disadvantages: small-ish trackpad

...I recieved this netbook for christmas and all i can say is 'wow'! My background with computers is vast having built many and installed multiple operating systems on each, however i have never owned a laptop. Therefore i was a little dubious about some of the things such as keyboard size, processing power and battery life. I was looking for a laptop which is very small in physical size while packing a punch so it could still carry out multiple tasks. Buying a full size (15.4") laptop seemed a bit pointlesss as i have two tower pc's which are my main machines, so this was just to be about casual surfing/ reading emails/ browsing while on the move. The Samsung NC10 is in my view one of the very best netbooks out there, the keyboard is just shy of being full size so no cramped typing (this review was written on it) Combine this...

Samsung NC10 Netbook

Advantages: Lots of connectivity - Big keyboard - excellent screen - Good spec
Disadvantages: bad sleeve to store netbook - battery life not that long - small touchpad

...I managed to pick up this netbook for £299 which is oustanding value - from play.com. The netbook is very light and can fit almost anywhere - it is very easy to carry around - you can set up anywhere and very easily connect to the internet where available. The netbook looks very stylish and everything is laid out well. The keyboard is the biggest i have ever seen on a netbook - its almost full size which is a bonus as I have a lot of typing to do. One disadvantage of this is that the mousepad has been made very small which is a nuisance - you do get used to it but it is not ideal. The specs for this netbook are impressive I mean a massive 160GB hard drive, a 10.2 inch screen. 1 GB of RAM and a 1.6GHZ intel atom processor. This spec allows the netbook to operate very fastly - the whole 6 months I have had this netbook - it has...

Infinity and beyond.....

Advantages: Good value, versatile, stylish, easy to use
Disadvantages: Small shopping basket

...We have recently had a little girl and choosing the right travel system for us was something we gave a lot of consideration to before she was born. We wanted something that would last from birth for a few years. We tried the bugaboo and liked the features, but it was just too pricey for us. So we set about looking for a travel system that had a lot of the same features, but a smaller price tag and decided upon the Hauck Infinity ? I?m very glad we did. We have the pushchair and carrycot with raincovers and have also bought the car seat and footmuff. We have not yet used the pushchair part as our baby is only 3 months old and this cannot be used until she reaches 6 months so we are currently using the carrycot and car seat together with the frame. Hauck Infinity features: ? Multiposition lie back seat unit ? Lightweight...

93 Til Infinity - Lose Your Soul!

Advantages: Memorable Beats, Excellent Lyrics, Great Songs, Group Chemistry, No Bad Songs
Disadvantages: Incredibly Overrated, A few weaker joints

...So... Raise your hands if you've heard of Souls of Mischief. Ahhh, didn't think so. Souls of Mischief is a group from California (Oakland to be exact), composed of four members: Phesto, Opio, A-Plus, and Tajai. Souls of Mischief is a group which is a member of the Heiroglyphics, a group on a much larger scale containing tons of dope emcees such as Pep Love. Their debut album 93 Til Infinity provides a much alternate view of west coast hip-hop compared to what their better-known peers were releasing to the public at the time. Instead of resorting to gangsta rap and all of that idiocy, we get a fresh and abstract style, which can easily be compared to The Pharcyde. Souls of Mischief are time-honored hip-hop veterans who should definitely be respected for putting together a dope album. Instead of going for my traditional review style here...

Delonghi DEM 10

Advantages: Efficient
Disadvantages: None

...Our large, four bedroom house is over 200 years old and therefore has no cavity walls to insulate. After a cold and damp 2008 summer we were suffering from condensation and mould problems in spite of extractor fans in both kitchen and bathroom. Time to dehumidify! We bought our DEM 10 at Curry's for £99.99. It is compact, easily moved with a fold-out top carry handle and absolutely idiot proof in use. The level of humidity that the unit will pull down to can be controlled via a knob on top of the housing and there is a full tank warning light. The water tank is transparent so that the water level can be seen at a glance and the tank is so easy to remove for emptying - and, more importantly, to replace. Try some of the competition! A length of polythene hose is supplied to enable continuous draining should you want to leave the unit...

Samsung NC10 Black netbook a lightweight and excellent netbook

Advantages: Great screen, excellent battery life,
Disadvantages: Poor speakers, personal headphones or additional speakers definitely help

...I bought my NC10 to replace my laptop which was just too heavy to be carrying to and from work everyday. I purchased my NC10 on a promotion weekend from a high street store beating online prices significantly. I was trying to avoid big bulky items to carry as I was on crutches at the time. Not recommended but straight out of box into my rucksack in the shop from which it was purchased. Didn't notice much weight difference in my bag at all. The Samsung NC10 has served me dilligently now being used more and more instead of my normal laptop as battery life is excellent. I use the NC10 round the house for coursework, work and even during my work lunch. The screen is bright and very easy to read, I primarily use the NC10 at home for surfing the net to shop and for music in the background. I have an extensive playlist on Spotify...

Lets Fifa 10

Advantages: An almost perfect football simulation
Disadvantages: Some would say its Fifa 09 all over again

...Introduction I wasn't intending on getting Fifa 10 until Christmas but when I saw it advertised for under £25 on the day of release, I had to rush out and buy it as I knew it would never be as cheap as this again until well after Christmas. I had played the demo a few weeks before the actual release, and while the game was good, it didn't look that much different from Fifa 09 which I had only owned for 6 months. With this scepticism, I loaded the game up and began wondering if I had just paid £25 for the same game. First Impressions After sitting through the introduction of Wayne Rooney evading a slide tackle from Frank Lampard, you get to the main menu. Now call my cynical but it appears that Electronic Arts may also think that consumers will have trouble identifying the new features of this game as they have...

FIFA 10

Advantages: Hours of Play, Smooth Gameplay, Variety
Disadvantages: Commentary, Glitches (See review)

...and again, this doesn't seem to be a problem this year. The sound quality still isn't very good though. All of your stats are still saved within your 'Player HUB' and online leaderboards are there as always. The leaderboards at the moment appear to rank the top 10,000 in the world and top 10,000 in each country. At the moment I'm ranked around 7000 in GB, but don't have a ranking spot in the world rankings. 10v10 Team Play is still here. You can now play friends more easily. Previously when I wanted to play with just my friends I had to create a room then start as quick as possible without anyone else joining (there may have been an easier way), but now you can invite your friends to a private game. Nothing could really have been improved here unless they included the goalkeeper or substitutes, so when you're fed up with your real friends...

Infinity On High

Advantages: Catchy Tunes
Disadvantages: Old sceptics won't be won over

...clever lyrics weaved in keep the album interesting. ■The Album■ The newly released third album 'Infinity On High' takes the band to an all new level. While now being in the spotlight the pressure was definitely on to produce something as catchy and original as the last album without repeating themselves and that's exactly what they've done. Seemingly taking some inspirations from hip-hop type music the music itself has changed as well as the lyrical content. The lyrics are quite often based on defending themselves from accusations of becoming a corperate run, over popular, mainstream band who have no talent and got to the top through riding the 'emo' wave. Lyrics written by band poster boy and bassist Pete Wentz while lead singer Patrick Stump who prefers sticking to the shadows writes the music. Unusual way of going about...
